Philosophy is the best way to train yourself, the best way to gain self-esteem. There are many different types of philosophy and many different roads to cross. However, the destination is the same. Your own soul. That gives you the opportunity to discover new ways of thinking, new ideas. I've read many books and the only thing i need to share with you, is that philosophy prepares your soul to be ready to make these dreams, you have in mind, come true. Nice article btw!
